Now in paperback featuring a new introduction by Michelle Obama, a letter from the author to her younger self, and a book club guide with 20 discussion questions and a 5-question Q&A, the intimate, powerful, and inspiring memoir by the former First Lady of the United States
In her memoir, a work of deep reflection and mesmerizing storytelling, Michelle Obama invites readers into her world, chronicling the experiences that have shaped her -- from her childhood on the South Side of Chicago to her years as an executive balancing the demands of motherhood and work, to her time spent at the world's most famous address. With unerring honesty and lively wit, she describes her triumphs and her disappointments, both public and private, telling her full story as she has lived it -- in her own words and on her own terms.
Warm, wise, and revelatory, Becoming is the deeply personal reckoning of a woman of soul and substance who has steadily defied expectations -- and whose story inspires us to do the same.
Becoming: Adapted for Younger Readers
*A younger reader's edition of the number-one bestselling memoir by former first lady of the United States, Michelle Obama. With a new introduction from Mrs Obama herself*
What's important is our story, our whole story, including those moments when we feel a little vulnerable . . .
Michelle Robinson started life sharing a bedroom with her older brother Craig, in their family's upstairs apartment in her great-aunt's house. Her parents, Fraser and Marian, poured their love and energy into their children. She would go on to become Michelle Obama, the inspirational First Lady of the United States of America.
Now adapted for younger readers, with new photographs and a new introduction from Michelle Obama herself, this memoir tells a very personal, and completely inspiring, story of how, through hard work and determination, the girl from the South Side of Chicago built an extraordinary life.
A tale of ups and downs, triumphs and failures, this is an incredibly honest account. It will take you from the early years - first kiss, first school, first love - to the wonders of the White House, and the moment Mrs Obama shook hands with the Queen of England.
A book to read, share, and talk about with the adults in your life, this is a call to action and compassion, and hope for change in uncertain times, and in a scary world.
You'll be inspired to help others, and understand that no one is perfect. Just like Michelle Obama, you too are finding out exactly who you want to be (and, actually, so are the adults in your life).
Above all, it is a book to make you think: who are you, and what do you want to become?

Beach Boys, The - Becoming The Beach Boys: The Complete Hits & Dorinda Morgan Sessions 2CD
KDO: Jedna z největších kapel americké hudební historie. Beach Boys vznikli v roce 1961 v Kalifornii, kde ji založili bratři Brian, Dennis a Carl Wilsonové a jejich přátelé Al Jardine a Mike Love. Prosluli jediněčnými vokálními harmoniemi a texty, jež reflektovaly kulturu a zájmy kalifornské mládeže. Také proto se Beach Boys stali reprezentantem tzv. California Sound hudební vlny, které se později říkalo také sunshine pop. Natočili řadu desek, celosvětově prodali přes 100 milionů jejich kopií a dodnes jsou v tomto smyslu jednou z nejúspěšnějších skupin.
CO: Sběratelská rarita! Poprvé vycházejí uplně první dochované nahrávky jedné z největších amerických kapel. Třiašedesát raritních skladeb, z nichž rovných čtyřicet nebylo dosud zveřejněno! V září 1961 se Al Jardine, Brian Wilson, Carl Wilson, Dennis Wilson a Mike Love sešli poprvé společně u mikrofonu v domě Hite a Dorindy Morganových a natočili první tři písně Beach Boys. Do března 1962, kdy Beach Boys podepsali sedmiletý kontrakt s Capitol Records, vzniklo v improvizovaném studiu ještě několik dalších nahrávek - některé jsou ikonické, jiné značně obskurní. Všechny včetně pokažených naleznete v této 2CD kolekci!

Good Inside : A Guide to Becoming the Parent You Want to Be
An Instant Wall Street Journal, USA Today, and Indie Bestseller
"This book is for any parent who has ever struggled under the substantial weight of caregiving—which is to say, all of us. Good Inside is not only a wise and practical guide to raising resilient, emotionally healthy kids, it's also a supportive resource for overwhelmed parents who need more compassion and less stress. Dr. Becky is the smart, thoughtful, in-the-trenches parenting expert we've been waiting for!"—Eve Rodsky, New York Times bestselling author of Fair Play and Find Your Unicorn Space
Dr. Becky Kennedy, wildly popular parenting expert and creator of @drbeckyatgoodinside, shares her groundbreaking approach to raising kids and offers practical strategies for parenting in a way that feels good.
Over the past several years, Dr. Becky Kennedy—known to her followers as "Dr. Becky"—has been sparking a parenting revolution. Millions of parents, tired of following advice that either doesn't work or simply doesn't feel good, have embraced Dr. Becky's empowering and effective approach, a model that prioritizes connecting with our kids over correcting them.
Parents have long been sold a model of childrearing that simply doesn't work. From reward charts to time outs, many popular parenting approaches are based on shaping behavior, not raising humans. These techniques don't build the skills kids need for life, or account for their complex emotional needs. Add to that parents' complicated relationships with their own upbringings, and it's easy to see why so many caretakers feel lost, burned out, and worried they're failing their kids. In Good Inside, Dr. Becky shares her parenting philosophy, complete with actionable strategies, that will help parents move from uncertainty and self-blame to confidence and sturdy leadership.
Offering perspective-shifting parenting principles and troubleshooting for specific scenarios—including sibling rivalry, separation anxiety, tantrums, and more—Good Inside is a comprehensive resource for a generation of parents looking for a new way to raise their kids while still setting them up for a lifetime of self-regulation, confidence, and resilience.
Becoming Calder - Calder útja - A szerelem csillagjegyében 5.
Van egy hely a mai Amerikában, ahol nincs áram, nincs vezetékes víz, és nem használnak modern eszközöket sem. Itt nincs helye álmoknak, önkifejezésnek vagy ambícióknak.
Itt él egy fiú, akinek a teste akár egy istené, a szíve pedig akár egy harcosé. Erős és hűséges; jól szolgálja, akit szolgálni kell. De az a bűne, hogy többet mer álmodni.
Itt él egy lány is, akinek olyan az arca, akár egy angyalé, a szíve pedig telis-tele van bátorsággal. Ő a tökéletes engedelmesség mintaképe. De az a bűne, hogy vágyakozni mer arra, amiről azt mondták neki, hogy sohasem lehet az övé.
A Calder útja a jó és a rossz, a félelem és a bátorság küzdelméről szól. Arról, hogy a szerelem fénye még a legsötétebb helyeket is beragyogja - a kezdetektől a világ végéig.

Becoming a King
What does power and responsibility look like for Christian men in our world today? Becoming a King offers men a guide to becoming one to whom God can entrust his kingdom.
Journey with Morgan Snyder as he walks alongside men (and the women who love and encourage them) to rediscover the path of inner transformation. Becoming a King is an invitation into a radical reconstruction of much of what we've come to believe about God, masculinity, and the meaning of life.
Curated and distilled over more than two decades and drawn from the lives of more than seventy-five men, Morgan shares his discovery of an ancient and reliable path to restoring and becoming the kind of man who can wield power for good. With examples from the lives of the great heroes of faith as well as wise men from Morgan's own life, break through doubt and discover the power of restoration.
In Becoming a King, you will:
Reconstruct your understanding of masculinity and who God truly intended you to be
Learn to become a man of unshakable strength and courageT
Reclaim your identity, integrity, and purpose
Traveling this path isn't easy. But the heroic journey detailed within the pages of Becoming a King leads to real life-to men becoming as solid and mighty as oak trees, teeming with strength and courage to bring healing to a hurting world; and to sons, husbands, brothers, and friends becoming the kind of kings to whom God can entrust his kingdom.

Becoming Beauvoir
"One is not born a woman, but becomes one", Simone de Beauvoir
A symbol of liberated womanhood, Simone de Beauvoir's unconventional relationships inspired and scandalised her generation. A philosopher, writer, and feminist icon, she won prestigious literary prizes and transformed the way we think about gender with The Second Sex. But despite her successes, she wondered if she had sold herself short.
Her liaison with Jean-Paul Sartre has been billed as one of the most legendary love affairs of the twentieth century. But for Beauvoir it came at a cost: for decades she was dismissed as an unoriginal thinker who 'applied' Sartre's ideas. In recent years new material has come to light revealing the ingenuity of Beauvoir's own philosophy and the importance of other lovers in her life.
This ground-breaking biography draws on never-before-published diaries and letters to tell the fascinating story of how Simone de Beauvoir became herself.
